I keep location services off on iPhone and iPad unless I am actually using them. It saves battery life and I would rather Apple or whoever not even be tempted to know where I am....

If I have to see ads, I'd at least prefer to have them relevant to my interests and location. I've always been impessed by how accurately Amazon, for example, suggest things that they think will interest me - more often than not, they do.

the nice thing about being jailbroken, is you can mess around with your host file. very easy way to block ads in apps. hmm. this link used to work, don't know if it's down for good or not. but it was a nice host file full of advertisers that were redirected to 127.0.0.1 to stop your phone from grabbing ads from the net.
if anyone wants a copy of the file i can look into posting it up. |
